Using DSCD in Eikon API

Hi,

I'm using the Eikon API (eikon, and refinitiv.dataplatform) in Python and was wondering if there is a way to use Datastream's DSCD to query Data in Python with the Eikon Api?

So far I've only been using RICs for my queries, however, the number of DSCDs for which no RIC was available was quite significant in my case.

I'm also aware of the fact that DSCDcna be queried using the DatastreamDSWS package, but this doesn't work on my computer at the moment.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best,

J

Hi @student.015,

Please note that the Datastream Python wrapper was updates as per this page:

Datastream Web Service | Devportal (lseg.com)

You can see how you can use it in examples in CodeBook:
